lol I was like, why didn’t you call me and tell me?!?!? He’s like man, I spent like a full day trying to find where I had written down your number and couldn’t find it. He said he was asking people if they knew me so he could get in touch with me. Remember back then, social media wasn’t even a thing lol nowadays he could of found a way to get ahold of me fairly quick
They wouldn’t let me join regardless of the bonus lol they just said the GED was a no go…but yeah, I think they still require a Tier 1 education (high school diploma) for a bonus…it makes no sense lol so you went back to high school too??
it really was, but I believe it happened for a reason because the Infantry platoon I ended up being stationed with was the absolute perfect fit for me. I never had a platoon I was closer with after that platoon and everyone from that platoon says the same thing. We just all connected so well! So it was a blessing in disguise.
Damn! Thats wild!! Love these shorts brother👊
In may im finally going to try and enlist! Great story to hear! Glad you made it and wish me luck 😂
Best of luck! Let me know how the process goes for you and of course hit me up if you need assistance along the way!
@@SFCBEITZcan prior service get an option 3 contract when reenlisting?

I think I did mention it in a video in the past lol
Wow, that must've been awkward and probably embarrassing as well 😂😂

Nope, you needed your diploma to get the sign on bonus. I did the same damn thing in 99.
